POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR SCIENTIFIC
WORKFLOWS

UC Berkeley’s NHERI SimCenter <https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/)> has
an immediate opening in *software development* for a postdoctoral
researcher through the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure
program funded by the National Science Foundation. We are looking for a
qualified, motivated researcher with interest and experience in
simulation-based approaches to Natural Hazards Engineering.

*Please share our posting with friends and colleagues!*

Competitive applicants will have strong software development experience
with knowledge of computational modeling systems for structural analysis,
wind modeling, tsunami modeling, and/or geo-technical simulation.

The project involves the creation of next-generation simulation
applications and educational resources for natural hazards engineering on a
scale ranging from single buildings to metropolitan areas. This is a high
impact applied effort involving dozens of researchers located across the
United States. The Center’s software development team is based at UC
Berkeley.

Advanced skills in computer programming are required. Candidates should
have demonstrated experience (3–5 years) in one or more of the following:
software engineering and software design; high-performance computing,
scientific workflow systems; community software development, version
control, documentation, and maintenance; proven knowledge of computer
languages used in scientific computing (e.g., C, C++, Modern Fortran), and
knowledge of scripting languages used in scientific data processing (e.g.,
Matlab, R, Python); proven experience/knowledge of parallel and
multi-thread programming (e.g., MPI, OpenMP, CUDA) and I/O tools for
parallel access and management of large datasets. In addition, the
candidates must have excellent English language skills, social skills,
design sense, and team spirit. Candidates need to be able to work in a
highly interdisciplinary environment.

Candidates should submit their application materials as a single pdf file
(< 5 MB), including a short motivational letter, CV, and copies of academic
credentials (bachelor, master/diploma, and PhD) with attention to: Professor
Sanjay Govindjee <s_g at berkeley.edu> with a copy to Dr. Matt Schoettler
<schoettler at berkeley.edu>. Applicants are encouraged to submit their
materials as soon as possible. *Review of applications will begin on July
29, 2019 and will continue until the positions are filled. The desired
start date for the successful candidate is September 2019, or earlier.*
